TACLOBAN CITY - Eastern Visayas will create a website for tourists and tourism enterprises available in Google earth in partnership with the Tourism and Trade departments and German Agency for International Cooperation (GIZ).
Department of Tourism Regional Director Karina Rosa Tiopes said the initiative is a boost to the local tourism industry since this will be the first official website of the region for tourism promotion.
“The tourists can easily get information online. They will get basic information like category of the hotel, room rates, and how to get there. For us to attract more tourists, we should have a tourist-friendly webpage. We want to make this as one of the attractive website for tourists,” Tiopes said.
She said they will focus on basic information. “If tourists are interested, they will search more on the web.”
Raquel Capio, GIZ Private Sector Promotion Program senior coordinator for Eastern Visayas, said they are still data gathering and uploading information and pictures on the web.
“By the end of this year, we will complete the data gathering for northwest Leyte and Southern Leyte areas,” Capio said.
The official added that the same activity was also done in Bohol, which turned a very effective tool in drawing more tourists in the area.
The project will be fully completed in 2012 covering all provinces in Eastern Visayas.
The initiative is expected not just to benefit interested tourist but tourism enterprises as well.
The Tourism department will also come up with database on tourism-related businesses out of this project.
